What's on YOUR shelf?

The official first day of summer may be a month away, but the bright sun, blue skies, and warm temperatures sure indicate otherwise! So why wait until June for a picnic?

We here at Kidsmomo are strong believers in seizing the day and taking the plunge — er, actually, not really. But we DO believe in seizing the danish and taking the punch… and putting it in a basket and eating it outdoors!

If you’re looking for menu-planning inspiration, search no further than your favorite books! For yummy outdoor fare, I always think of the massive number of sandwiches that Mary Anne and Logan pack for their picnic date (in The Baby-Sitters Club by Ann M. Martin), plus the seemingly endless and magical basket that always dispenses just the right treats to Kirby and Betsy (in The Pink Motel by Carol Ryrie Brink).

But when talking about the ultimate kidlit picnic, one tale comes to mind right away:
